Doesn't help, it installs itself on Ubuntu when you install Firefox/Chromium anything else that defaults to snap. It's possible to stop it from installing by changing some config files and blocking snap, but you still can't get Firefox from official repos since there is no Firefox on official repos
@gloopsies @bufalo1973 yeah, i never actually requested Snap to be installed. and an increasing number of packages simply have it as a dependency. it's no longer the package manager installing the software. the package manager just has a stub package that launches the Snap stuff.
